It's crazy that they've actually bumped heads at one point. They also mention Jerry Garcia was even a fan of the Butthole Surfers and even liked The Ramones! This actually makes me want to delve into the Dead's music even deeper.

I wonder if Jerry liked Sabbath. They did share a bill one day at the Hollywood Music Festival in 1970 with Traffic.There's also a part where Robert Plant mentions Black Sabbath's Paranoid.

Picky faux Dead Heads still bitching about octave doubling Phil's Bass Great parts during remastering/mixing on DaP24. Fuck that. I love it. Experimentation/Prankstermentation is part and parcel of the Good ol' Grateful Dead experience. Any sincere, old school fan should know and embrace that.

DaP 25 is good, not great. Killer Half-Step, Duprees, T.Jed and TMNS in the first set. Second set has a nice St.Stephens>NFA>Drums>Wharf Rat with an EPIC and smokin' Truckin'. So starts off and finishes strong. The Betty Cantor feed off the soundboard mix is as sweet as you'd expect.

Can't imagine we'll see many more '77 shows in the near future. Bring on the '78-85 era shows!

Liberty, you should delve into the radio show "The Avant Ghetto" on WFMU. Its by deadhead Jeff Conklin and he puts a choice Dead set segment from a great recording into every show. Then he mixes it up with a lot of other stuff. He's an exceptional DJ, a big fan of Moby Grape. Here are the archives, but its on every Sunday night.
